I live in Massachusetts, which is a one-party state.
For cameras, I can record my property, and if I pick up part of the neighbors yard then it's not a problem. I can't aim it in their window or anything like that. But not a problem, if it is centered on my land and especially if it can be seen from a public way. You are allowed to record anything visible from the public way.
For sound recording you need consent. It is my understanding, if you are in public place you have no expectation of privacy and audio of you can be recorded. E.g. news on location. I'm wondering if their expectation of privacy holds (for audio purposes) if you can be heard from my residence or from a public way. I am wondering if the same standard for video can be used for audio. I can hear my neighbors when they are outside and I am also outside. I think i should be able to record audio on my property even if I pick up conversation from the neighbors who are also outside.
Anyone have any insight into this?
